Steering (controllers) paired, but steering off for ZRL?

So with steering being off for ZRL (not kicking that hornets nest), anyone know if there will be issues with having the controllers on and paired for virtual shifting even though steering will be turned off? Via trial and error (and multiple forum reports) in the TTTs, looks like there are separate data streams for steering/not steering. I’m curious if that will clash and send everything sideways in race if I want to leverage virtual shifting via my play controllers. Don’t have a lot of racing experience with the controllers (outside of TTTs).

I don’t have virtual shifting, but I’ve used other (non-steering) functions of my Play controllers before in ZRL with no problems.

I’m sure that virtual shifting will be fine.
